Justin Hinchcliffe, a supporter of Right to Life, Chairman of Tottenham Conservatives, and the author of Hunter and Shooter, is critical of Amnesty's recent positioning on abortion.

Amnesty International’s policy change on abortion displays a breathtaking contempt for the views of its core members

It’s not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes. No, this
isn’t an article concerning a foreign totalitarian regime, but a
reference to one of the world’s most well-known human rights
organisations, Amnesty International, who recently adopted a
controversial policy to ‘defend women’s access to abortion’, amid
accusations of censorship, disregarding the views of its members,
adopting the policy in secret and misrepresenting its true scope.

Amnesty insists that the policy was “overwhelmingly adopted by the
global membership through our democratic structures” following
extensive membership consultation over a two year period from
2005-2007. However there are reasons to question this version of events.
